[peacelover1233]

lookn at my herkie video and please help :)

[hipposskyperson]

If it didn't help you , then you should NOT try to complain and then go find someone else or another video or someone else to teach you . I don't think no one cares . (Y) . I loveee this video .

[Luvme008]

umm that looked like a toe-touch.

[imnotgoodwithguns]

@Luvme008 how in the hell was that a toe touch??

[emayan06]

she did id rite to me

[bailarina1493]

i cant get my leg to go that high!!!!

[TheLoverOfNight]

@bailarina1493 practice lifting your leg without the jump, ( if you can't lift it by strength alone, build up some muscle and flexability. Or you could prop it against a short dresser or counter top) Once you get your leg up, try it with the jump again.

Good Luck!

remember, technique is more important than height. :)

[emiliouvg]

@bailarina1493 then start stretchin and stop bitchin

[makemeSMILE12345]

except you land with you hands in blades by your side and you jump with a T. anything else is sick.

[woody1sp]

I think that instead of judging people should post videos here teaching what they consider to be correct. At least she's done that.

[myosource]

@woody1sp

exactly. I see so many negative comments where people do not offer any valuable information. very well said.

[woody1sp]

@myosource

Ty

[tessbrown2]

hahahahah this pike is TERRIBLE!

[adm62796]

this is a herkie.

[noubs13]

its not a pike.. its a herkie...

[rlilly9]

her smile is annoying and she is landing crooked

[xLindsey777MCRx]

I cant do it. I cried for 5 whole minutes over that. I know its stupid but cheer is the only thing i can do.

[TwilghtMyLyf]

your "hi!" is soo annoying

[HollisterChick015]

lol ikr!i was like wtf is up with the perky "hi!"

[americangirltess]

how many "common jumps" are there in cheer

[fairydustandmarmite]

There's ten, tuck, c, spread, herkie, stag, toe touch, split, hurdler, pike, and doubles. They're usually called the "classic jumps" though. Oh well, same diff ^_^

[Themickeyandzoeshow]

okay that was better than your toe touch but it was still really bad!

[VandyCandy13]

her back leg isnt bent at all

[zzz720]

haha

[stormcheeer]

i calll it a hurdler for both.

this girl sucks no offence. pick someone good at cheerleading

[LastRqss]

thank you so much for these videos! keeps my morale up at least...=]

[fallenxdream]

that wasn't very good. bad arms.

[smartchocolate54]

....your not a very good "jumper"

[Ashli108]

....we don't do our herkies like that at my school. we do it to where the knee is facing down. but there are "a lot of variations on the herkie."

[Santana23453]

whoa she knew her left from her right!

[dancingrl212]

she reminds me of my dance teacher...except she's not yelling at people

[iiheartTokioHotelXo]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[XMorningDewX]

hahahah niceee.

[lopito37]

i agree with you blonded, she might be "coach" but, her instruction and demostration...FAILED. ^_^ probably the outfit she wears, could make her...constipated.

[jillianbianca]

I thought she said that the hurkie should be in the high V position, but she did it in a sort of a T position.

[PeanutButtaJellyShow]

That definitely wasn't T position.

What are you talking about?

That was a high V.

[lemondrop222]

she is really good!

[sarahisthebomb123]

whats not a hurkie!!!! hurkies go in front not to the side so change that [when performed this is how a WRONG hurkie should look]

[lemondrop222]

NOOOO! hurkies go to the side dumbass!

[hOtTiE101343]

4 real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[lemondrop222]

ummm...yea. duh.

[Fergie3007]

lmfao this was some funny shit what the hell is she doin u dont need to do all tht shit to do a herkie i have no cheer experinece and can do a herkie and many other jumps and stunts im trying out for a comets tomorrow she looks consripated at the end of ever jump

[Oralala]

hmmm well

[trixie12890]

that did not help much

[blondedinoduck]

im a cheerleader..and thats NOT how you end a herkie =p..you dont just stand their like your constipated. learn how to do the jumps be fore you try and teach people!

[ashleylovesu4eva]

why would anyone do a HERKIE in HURDLER position... theres a huge diffrence... and why would you do it with your hands in blade form... that wouldnt be correct tecknique and if it was judged you would lose points, pluse it looks sloppy...

[ramjit92]

well excuse meh if i dont recall the qirl said that it was optional so idt u shud b talkinq and sayinq thinqs ppl dont care bout' cuz who really carez wat yuh have 2 saii?.....really tell meh =p

[Beautifullove89]

thats so cool!

[eishasha]

hey...i'm a cheerleader..and i don't know how to do herkie...i get scolded..and i want to learn herkie...!!really!how to do??!!tell me plz!!~

[smileymiley130]

jump up and push you'r front foot forword and lift and bend you'r back leg under you'r body. :)

[xobrina95xo0]

lmao whats up with the video bein all black!!!

[chloehannah123]

your so fucking annnoying!!! this is a waste of YOUR time

[acousticxlove]

you should NEVER have your hands in blades. or in a high-V for a herkie. arms should be in a T.

[Ashluvsme]

you can have your hands in a high V. its not as common, but thats allowed. just iv never seen anyone do it in blades

[XXmileyluvaXX]

thats not right i live in england and have only done cheerleading for a while and even i no thats wrong

[OhSoRobbiieexo]

arghhhhh shes sooo annoying!

[Lweb2000]

This video is wrong. The bent knee faces down in a herkie. When the knee faces front it is a hurdler. There is a difference. A herkie is named after Lawrence Herkimer. Look it up. Just look at the photos in the video. The photos show the bent knee facing down.

The herkie is named after someone. All other jumps are named for the body position in the air... toe-touch, pike, double nine... etc.
